Explore the history of postal service on the North Olympic Peninsula, on display May 4–15.
Did you know that there have been at least 70 post offices in Clallam County?
In remote communities across the Peninsula, mail delivery was often the only link with the outside world. As populations shifted and new technologies developed, the speed and method of mail delivery changed, from the coastal deliveries of the Mosquito fleet and Tribal canoes to wagon roads and eventually rail and air.
Learn all about these fascinating stories in Moving the Mail!
